The Dungeons & Dragons live-action series previously set for Paramount+ has been scrapped. Hasbro, which owns the rights through its in-house Hasbro Entertainment, confirmed the project is undergoing a "creative update" and will be shopped to other studios. The series was to be created by Rawson Marshall Thurber with Drew Crevello as showrunner, but new creative directions might alter their involvement. This news comes amid D&D's resurgence, with Wizards of the Coast planning new product launches for its 50th anniversary and the success of Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3.
What reasons might there be for scrapping the Dungeons & Dragons series at Paramount+?The cancellation could be due to strategic changes at Paramount+ or creative differences. Additionally, the franchise's box office performance with Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves might have influenced the decision.

The franchise has expanded into novels, video games, and movies. Despite underperforming at the box office, the recent film, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, was well-received by fans and critics, keeping interest high for new adaptations.
